Answer options

• A. Operational threat intelligence
• B. Strategic threat intelligence
• C. Tactical threat intelligence
• D. Technical threat intelligence

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Roma used Technical threat intelligence, which involves detailed data used to defend against specific threats, facilitating the identification and blockage of malicious traffic. Operational threat intelligence pertains to day-to-day operations and is less focused on immediate threat response, while Strategic threat intelligence offers insights into long-term trends. Tactical threat intelligence provides context for specific attacks but does not focus on the technical measures to mitigate them.
